March 2023 Books Vs Moods

Welcome to my regular monthly wrapup - Where books are sorted based on the moods I think they will be best appreciated in. The moods are standard ones that I have been using for a couple of years now. My last post was: February 2023 Books Vs Moods. Each cover page links back to the review…

Something Quite Beautiful: Seven short stories by Amanda Prowse

I did not know what to expect from this collection, and once I got started, I was mesmerised by the variety here. No two stories were alike - there was always some kind of twist at the end, and each of them threatened to make me tear up in public when I was listening to…

Heading Home to Lavender Cottage by Alison Sherlock

I must begin this review by stating that I have a few types of narrations that do not appeal to me. I might enjoy the story, but the way it is presented changes my impression. It is something I am dealing with audiobooks as well, as some appeal to me more. This is in no…

Marrying the Billionaire Best Friend by Holly Kerr

I had no prior knowledge of this series. I chose to read it mostly because of the size of the book and the general reviews that were already present. I had a lot of fun with this book. Sometimes when I pick up books that are only about romance, some of the scenes and the…

Scambait by Ryan R. Campbell

Murder at the Majestic Hotel by Clara McKenna

I have read and reviewed the previous three books in the series on the blog earlier:#1,#2,#3 If you glance at my reviews of the first three books in the series, you will see how I persisted despite not being wowed by the first. I was rewarded for that continued interest with a very different series.There…

Tentacles at My Throat by Zerocalcare

Translation by: Carla Roncalli Di Montorio I do not know what it was that drew me to this book, but I definitely did not expect what I got. The story begins at a school, with daily behaviour between various members being displayed as the norm. Some seem to do better there than others, while others…
